Ultrafast Metamorphosis of a Complex Charge Density Wave in Tantalumdiselenite
2016
Using ultrafast electron diffraction, we record the transformation between a nearly-commensurate and an incommensurate charge-density-wave in 1T-TaS2, which takes place orders of magnitude faster than previously observed for commensurate-to-incommensurate transitions.
Tight-binding study of the optical properties of GaN/AlN polar and nonpolar quantum wells
2009
The electronic structure of wurtzite semiconductor superlattices (SLs) and quantum wells (QWs) is calculated by using the empirical tight-binding method. The basis used consists of four orbitals per atom (sp3 model), and the calculations include the spin-orbit coupling as well as the strain and electric polarization effects. We focus our study on GaN/AlN QWs wells grown both in polar (C) and nonpolar (A) directions. The band structure, wave functions and optical absorption spectrum are obtained and compared for both cases.
Luminescence center excited state absorption in tungstates
2001
The excited state absorption of intrinsic luminescence center (self-trapped exciton) in tungstates (CaWO4, ZnWO4, PbWO4 and CdWO4) was studied. The transient absorption and luminescence spectra, decay kinetics and lifetime dependencies on temperature have been measured. The model of self-trapped exciton and nature of observed absorption bands were discussed.
Photoassociative production and trapping of ultracold KRb molecules.
2004
We have produced ultracold heteronuclear KRb molecules by the process of photoassociation in a two-species magneto-optical trap. Following decay of the photoassociated KRb*, the molecules are detected using two-photon ionization and time-of-flight mass spectroscopy of KRb$^+$. A portion of the metastable triplet molecules thus formed are magnetically trapped. Photoassociative spectra down to 91 cm$^{-1}$ below the K(4$s$) + Rb (5$p_{1/2}$) asymptote have been obtained. We have made assignments to all eight of the attractive Hund's case (c) KRb* potential curves in this spectral region.
Feasibility of In-Trap Conversion Electron Spectroscopy
2001
We have used REXTRAP at ISOLDE to test the feasibility of in-trap electron spectroscopy. The results of calculations, experiments with various electron sources as well as a first test with trapped radioactive ions are presented.
Mössbauer Spectroscopic Evidence of Angle-Dependent Intersystem Crossing in LiNbO3:Fe3+
1986
M\"ossbauer emission spectra of LiNb${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$:$^{57}\mathrm{Co}$ single crystals in magnetic fields up to 5 T at 4.2 K show initial populations of the $^{6}A_{1\mathrm{g}}$ Zeeman substates of ${\mathrm{Fe}}^{3+}$ which depend strongly on the angle between the crystallographic $c$ axis and the magnetic field. This is interpreted in terms of a crystal-field effect on excited states which influences the initial populations of the Zeeman sublevels of the $^{6}A_{1\mathrm{g}}$ ground term after the electron-capture decay of $^{57}\mathrm{Co}$. An intersystem crossing process due to orbit-lattice interaction can fairly well explain the angular dependence.
Ion traps in nuclear physics : recent results and achievements
2016
Ion traps offer a way to determine nuclear binding energies through atomic mass measurements with a high accuracy and they are routinely used to provide isotopically or even isomerically pure beams of short-living ions for post-trap decay spectroscopy experiments. In this review, different ion-trapping techniques and progresses in recent nuclear physics experiments employing low-energy ion traps are discussed. The main focus in this review is on the benefit of recent high accuracy mass measurements to solve some key problems in physics related to nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics as well as neutrinos. Also, several cases of decay spectroscopy experiments utilizing trap-purified ion sa…
Mass Measurements of Proton-rich Nuclei with JYFLTRAP
2011
The Penning trap setup JYFLTRAP, connected to the IGISOL facility, has been extensively used for atomic mass measurements of exotic nuclei. On the proton rich side of the chart of nuclei mass measurements have mostly contributed to fundamental physics and nuclear astrophysics studies with about 100 atomic masses measured. peerReviewed
Kernspinlabel-Untersuchungen zur Struktur und Dynamik von flüssigkristallinen Hauptkettenpolymeren
1984
Thermotropic nematic polyesters, specifically deuterated at different positions of the polymer chain, were macroscopically aligned by strong magnetic fields and solid state extrusion. Analysis of the observed 2H NMR spectra was achieved, employing a dynamic NMR model, based on the stochastic Liouville equation. The model considers various double and multiple pulse sequences, recently employed in FT-NMR spectroscopy.
Pyridazine-Supported Polymeric Cyanometallates with Spin Transitions
2019
Heterometallic cyano-bridged spin-crossover complexes form a large family of switchable compounds with different structural motives and diverse transition characteristics. Here we report on the hysteretic water-dependent spin transitions found in the family of [Fe(pyridazine)2M(CN)4] frameworks (M = Ni, Pd, Pt). The structure of three new spin-crossover compounds is built of cyanometallic layers supported by pyridazine ligands. The frameworks contain water guest molecules that can be removed upon heating. Spin transition was found in both hydrated and dehydrated compounds, while the removal of water stimulated a complete spin state switch. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed two different …
